Episode notes
Pass-Rush Talent Shortfall
- The 49ers' loss to Houston exposed a clear pass-rush and edge-talent deficit across multiple games.
- Matt Barrows and Tim Kawakami both argue the team lacks consistent bookend pass rushers and interior push without Bosa, Warner, and Huff.
Protect High Draft Capital
- Do not trade high picks for short-term rentals; prioritize younger players under contract.
- Tim Kawakami recommends limiting offers to mid-to-late round picks or short-term moves to preserve draft capital.
Quinnen Williams Trade Trade-Offs
- Quinnen Williams surfaced as a plausible trade target but would likely cost significant draft capital and salary.
- The hosts note Williams would upgrade the interior immediately yet question whether the 49ers will pay both the trade price and a ~$30M contract.
